Event Details

An extraordinarily large and diverse range of states, regions, cities, businesses, investors and citizens around the world are taking ambitious climate action. This action is delivering real results on the ground that save money, create jobs, make us healthier and reduce emissions. These actors could reduce global greenhouse gas emissions below their current national government policies by 2030, supporting the delivery of their countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions.

Where are we today on quantifying the emissions reduction potential and progress to date from states, cities and businesses? What does the future of climate action entail? Can this momentum lead to national governments stepping up commitments under the Paris Agreement?

Our affiliate event includes key notes from Patricia Espinoza, Erik Solheim, Sharan Burrow; a high-level panel featuring Mayors, Premiers and high-level business representatives that will discuss the implementation of their climate plans, and how they can strengthen their ambition. In addition, we will host panels that feature authors and highlights from various publications being released around GCAS on aggregate climate and their impact, ways to advance new methodologies for calculating these contributions, key challenges in advancing recognition and accountability and finally, a discussion on what more needs to be done to scale action.
